23 % of farms report a serious injury or close call in one yearFarmers Forum staffHAMILTON — Young farmers say that working quickly is more important to them than working safely, the Ag Health and Safety Alliance reported. In a presentation in Hamilton last month at the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) annual farm safety conference, the safety alliance noted its concern that, when surveyed, overall “the next generation of farmers” placed “speed” above “safety” on the farm. The survey was conducted among ag students who participated at safety alliance courses on college and university campuses across North America. The safety alliance trained 1,060 students on 16 Canadian and U.S. college campuses in 2021. “Safety does not have to be complicated,” says Carolyn Sheridan, executive director and founder of Ag Health and Safety Alliance.

However, Vigneault acknowledged the concept of national security encompasses broader considerations than how the agency defines threats, and that it was ultimately up to the government to decide if the Emergencies Act was justified. Pressed by Miller to identify who told the cabinet there were “reasonable grounds” to suspect a national security threat as defined by CSIS, Stewart said, “Nobody. In its formal written explanation for invoking the Emergencies Act, the government noted the RCMP had recently seized a cache of weapons and charged four people in an alleged conspiracy to kill police at a convoy blockade in southern Alberta. The federal inquiry led by Ontario Justice Paul Rouleau is probing why and how the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act to deal with last winter’s protest crisis. Critics have since argued the Emergencies Act was unnecessary and too heavy-handed, while the government insists it was needed to deal with an economically damaging and dangerous national emergency.

It's a matter of law," said Matthew Zolnowski, a portfolio manager for the Defense Production Act program, speaking to a gathering of the Canada-United States Law Institute in Washington, D.C…"We are actively engaging those firms," he said, describing a flurry of recent activity by quoting an old movie line: "It's a duck on a pond. It looks quiet on the surface, but there's a lot happening. "…Both countries describe this as a generational initiative still in its early stages: Canada, for now, is still a bit player in producing these minerals, which include lithium, cobalt and manganese…But one Canadian official said this can change. The final component involves working with allies…Zolnowski noted that back in 1984, Robert Gates, at the time a U.S. intelligence official who went on to become secretary of defence to two presidents, articulated his fear in a speech that foreign government-funded companies would come to dominate the industry…This worries the Pentagon for security reasons, both economic and military. Zolnowski called these minerals the building blocks of a thriving economy…He said civilian goods will dominate the market, as well as receiving the lion's share of Pentagon funding.

Operation Red Nose, the safe-ride program that runs during the holiday season, is set to come back this year in British Columbia — though it won't include every community in the province. Chris Wilson, B.C. spokesperson for Operation Red Nose, says downtown Vancouver and Surrey aren't being served by volunteers this time around. Wilson noted that ride-hailing apps weren't a factor the last time Operation Red Nose was in B.C., but he says that the service should be treated as one of the options people use during a night out.
